Chedaque - the rat

Chap 1

I can see the light...

Was I...dead? 

Of course, no. I hear the ringing of the alarm clock, the holder of my misery for 24 years! As I awake, I recall the previous events of yesterday. Wombat and ratty was behind my tail. They were chasing me because I stole the last bit of bottled wax. No, that isn't right.  Oh yes, that was what happened, in last night's dream. As for yesterday's events, I've completely forgot.  I remember what happened day before, I was grocery shopping without a bag, and the kind cashier lady offered me one without me paying her the 2 cents it has cost. In fact, after I placed the items in the bag, everything seemed to go blank.
